I think he will do better if two things are true.

1. He is not asked to be a primary scoring option for his new team. 2. He accepts that his handle and vision are great for a SF, not so great for a PG. Neo was miscast in his role this year, and it seems that was primarily by his own request. He will thrive and be a matchup nightmare if he's more of a facilitator in a point forward role. If he goes somewhere else hoping to be The Man, he will struggle again. He simply does not have the quickness or ballhandling ability to play the 1, possibly the 2 as well. But at the 3 or 4, he could be deadly.

Can you imagine getting better as you get older and more experienced?

better coaching might be a better answer**

And so when Tyler Nickel and Jaden Schutt got better at VT?**

If Neo performed as hyped he would have left anyway. **

Neo will be much better at next stop

He will be better cause he'll have a full offseason to prepare for college

how could you possibly speak to the coaching that he was getting at VT.

So why is he in the portal?**
Vippie1 03/28/26 12:30 PM ET
Because it is a useful tool in negotiating with teams who might draft him..
GCHokie34 03/28/26 07:19 PM ET
The first and most obvious reason......

Maybe he's psychic or has a Ouija Board. **
